The US is home to a lot of immigrants that's why the business of international calling cards has flourished because this is the only way that those away from their loved ones can stay in touch cheaply. However, based on a recent survey by the Hispanic Institute, some calling card companies have been ripping their customers off due to blatant misrepresentation and hidden costs and fees.

If you buy your calling cards in gas stations, there's a good chance that you won't get what you've paid for in terms of minutes. Some of these calling cards doesn't even have an indication of how many minutes you're buying.

Thanfully, the House of Representatives passed legislation requiring prepaid calling card companies to minutes on the card, dollar value, and per minute international rates. In order not to get scammed by some of these companies, it's a good idea to buy your international calling cards online.

Buying your phone card online would save you all the headache as the dollar value and the minutes you're buying is already indicated. Plus, buying calling cards online would give you the chance to compare the best phone card around. If you do your homework right, there's less chance that you'll be ripped off.
